Constructed to meet Audubon Society and U.S. Fish and Wildlife specifications, this handcrafted birdhouse is designed for Swallows & is mounted on a building, tree or pole. Sturdy 7/8" cedar provides superior durability and essential insulation for nestlings.

Vent and drain holes relieve heat, increase natural air circulation inside the nesting box and keep the nest dry. Easy cleaning - just remove three screws and the bottom or top comes off.

Available in natural color or finished with water base nontoxic paints and stains. Comes with instructions for mounting, cleaning, and basic information about the birds most likely to use this birdhouse.

Our bird houses are constructed to meet Audubon Society and U.S. Fish and Wildlife specifications. We test them here for a year on our 5 acre personal bird sanctuary. We love our free flying birds and put the same into each birdhouse or feeder.

Each house has 3, 1/4" drain holes in the nesting box floor to help keep the nest area as dry as possible.

When we use a bottom platform (deck) we place an additional raised floor inside the nesting area.

All bird houses and bird feeders are designed for easy cleaning, just remove three screws and the bottom or top comes off.

We use water base nontoxic paints and stains, however, natural is best. The water base material will age rather fast, adding to the rustic look.

We can, for an additional cost, provide custom colors, vegetable oil stains, natural UV coatings, and polyurethane which are supported by several universities as toxic safe for birds, also. Normally, the additional cost will run between $10 - $15 per bird house, unless several are the same colors, this we will work out by email.

We use coated nails and screws for weather protection. Some small decorations are attached with very small non-coated brads.

In addition to fasteners, all roof, walls and decorations are glued with Elmer's wood glue to help prevent possible leaks and give longevity to the bird house and decorations.
